▶ Your Answer :There is a Korean proverb saying that ‘to
live a successful life, people should be in large environment.’ People have
different thoughts and interests when it comes to consider living in big cities
or small towns. Some people say that reside in country is better than downtown.
However, I strongly believe that living in large cities is better than living
in small towns. There are two different reasons that there would be more
opportunities to make money and people’s lives are more convenient. To begin with, there
are more opportunities in big cities. The countryside has less jobs and
opportunities thus young people often leave their hometowns. On the other hand,
cities have more jobs because they have a lot of people and needs for goods and
services. For instance, my mother was from the small town in South Korea and
when she was a high school student, she felt that there was less chances there
so that she decided to go to Seoul which is the capital in Korea. Afterward,
she got a job in the small company and had more opportunities to meet people
which made her have wider perspectives. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that
large environment would give people more and better opportunities.
Moreover, people’s
lives staying in big town are more convenient. Cities have many public places
such as convenience stores, theaters, and hospitals and cities are more approachable
to those places. Thus, people can go fast in urgent circumstances. To be specific,
my friend Yein, who was living in small town, once was sick at night. But he
did not have a car to go to clinic that is quite far away from his house so he
had to go next morning. Therefore, dwelling in big cities make people accessible
to many places.
To sum up, large
cities help people to have a comfortable life and to get more opportunities. Therefore,
I believe that living in cities would be more advantageous than small towns to
live a better quality of life. |
